micro-ping

Simple utility for testing network latency from Zeit datacenters

Can also be imported and used a node module.

Usage

If you haven't installed now already, start by following these instructions

To deploy the service use the following command:

now NathanielHill/micro-ping

A unique deployment URL will be returned (and copied to the clipboard), now make sure to scale your deployment to the datacenter you want to test from.

For example, let's test from bru1:

now scale <deployment-url> all 0 0
now scale <deployment-url> bru1 0 1

You may also want to create an alias:

now alias <unique-deployment-url> ping.<your-domain.com>

Now, test away:

$ curl "<deployment-url>/?host=example.com&n=100"
{"host":"example.com","n":"100","avg":"75.550","stddev":"0.317"}

Can also be used as a node module in your own project.

To install:

yarn add micro-ping

or

npm install --save micro-ping

The default export takes an optional config object and runs the microservice. Usage will look something like this:

const microPing = require('micro-ping')

microPing({ port: 80, log = true, n = 10 })
